	                <h3>What is it?</h3>
	                This application is a proof-of-concept for a Software as a Service 
	                (SaaS) application running on Google's App Engine platform (PaaS). 
	                The purpose of this application is to store individual notes from any 
	                Google Account into the cloud.   
                </div>
                
                <div class="contentBoxStaticText">
	                <h3>Why?</h3> 
	                The sole purpose is to support my Bachelor's thesis and proof 
	                the simplicity and versatility of PaaS platforms like Google App Engine. 
	                Consequently this webapp has many characteristic features of a 
	                Cloud Computing app like for instance sharing, centralized storage, etc.

                <div class="contentBoxStaticText">
	                <h3>How?</h3>
	                Python was the language of choice here and to improve the user 
	                experience and simplify my programming at the same time, Django is 
	                used as an underlying framework as well as the Google App Engine API.

	                <h3>Privacy?</h3>
	                Any notes or texts that are input by the user are stored in a database 
	                and any processing of data is done to show this data to its owner (the 
	                user who put them in). I do not have any access to the users Google 
	                Account's password or any other information, except the username the 
	                corresponding user id. Any information given will be handled with care 
	                and respect and most importantly <b>NOT</b> shared or otherwise distributed.
